The Apocryphon of John

Whilst much of the language and semantics in this work is convoluted and many of the details are unneccessary; the general deeper thrust of the 'Apocryphon of John' is highly relevant for the cosmogenesis (as Jesus of Nazareth, as the incarnated World Logos realised and remembered).

[6:10:55 PM] Tony Bermanseder: read the Apocryphon of John[6:11:06 PM] Ishtara Raven: got a link for me?[6:11:07 PM] Tony Bermanseder: we'll see[6:11:13 PM] Tony Bermanseder: wait[6:13:08 PM] Tony Bermanseder: http://www.gnosis.org/naghamm/apocjn.html[6:13:45 PM] Ishtara Raven: thanks[6:14:07 PM] Tony Bermanseder: i look for a passage[6:20:15 PM] Ishtara Raven: his is the first thought, his image; she became the womb of everything, for it is she who is prior to them all, the Mother-Father, the first man, the holy Spirit, the thrice-male, the thrice-powerful, the thrice-named androgynous one, and the eternal aeon among the invisible ones, and the first to come forth.[6:27:19 PM] Tony Bermanseder: yes you for one should be able to decipher this[6:27:57 PM] Ishtara Raven: this is the christ[6:28:09 PM] Ishtara Raven: the perfect template[6:28:56 PM] Tony Bermanseder: yes indeed and it leads to Adam see, called Pigeradamas, an older name for Adam Kadmon of Hebrew Kabbalah[6:29:08 PM] Ishtara Raven: when it talks about aeons and the 12 its refering to the dimensions of the universe?[6:29:16 PM] Tony Bermanseder: who is created by the 'evil archons' and then cannot stand up[6:29:24 PM] Ishtara Raven: yes[6:29:26 PM] Tony Bermanseder: yes and no[6:29:44 PM] Tony Bermanseder: recall the 9 Mayan timelords, same thing but becomes the 10 Principles[6:29:55 PM] Ishtara Raven: ok[6:30:16 PM] Tony Bermanseder: the whole symbolism in Daniel and Revelation derives from these symbols here.[6:30:36 PM] Tony Bermanseder: The curse of the Serpent in Eden as well.[6:30:51 PM] Tony Bermanseder: I put this on the forum btw[6:30:55 PM] Ishtara Raven: Yaldaboth[6:30:58 PM] Tony Bermanseder: yes[6:31:02 PM] Tony Bermanseder: Jehovah[6:31:05 PM] Tony Bermanseder: Allah[6:31:08 PM] Ishtara Raven: the fake god[6:31:12 PM] Tony Bermanseder: yes[6:31:17 PM] Tony Bermanseder: as the image[6:31:36 PM] Tony Bermanseder: not really false but false as is your own mirror image/shadow see[6:32:08 PM] Ishtara Raven: yeah[6:33:35 PM] Ishtara Raven: 'I am God and there is no other God beside me,' for he is ignorant of his strength, the place from which he had come.[6:34:09 PM] Ishtara Raven: so when he said this, its basically talking about our ego self, who doesn't remember[6:34:41 PM] Tony Bermanseder: Indeed you are doing well[6:34:56 PM] Ishtara Raven: And the archons created seven powers for themselves, and the powers created for themselves six angels for each one until they became 365 angels.[6:35:07 PM] Ishtara Raven: 7 days of the week and 365 days of the year[6:35:29 PM] Tony Bermanseder: this stuff caused great division in the early Roman Catholic Church and resulted in the heretical persecutions of the Cathars, Bogomils etc.[6:35:43 PM] Ishtara Raven: yeah i can see why, wow[6:36:04 PM] Ishtara Raven: the last passage is the birth of time[6:36:53 PM] Tony Bermanseder: Yes, it more or less proved, that Jehovah was a fake and that the OT should be reinterpreted. Jesus then did this, in crystallizing the 'true God' as his Abba, meaning 'Dad' or something simple like that.

[6:37:46 PM] Ishtara Raven: cool[6:39:54 PM] Tony Bermanseder: I am putting our discourse here on the forum as an intro[6:40:18 PM] Ishtara Raven: ok[6:41:24 PM] Ishtara Raven: And she was overcome by forgetfulness in the darkness of ignorance and she began to be ashamed. And she did not dare to return, but she was moving about. And the moving is the going to and fro.[6:41:30 PM] Ishtara Raven: us and gaia[6:41:57 PM] Ishtara Raven: overcome by forgetfulness[6:43:16 PM] Tony Bermanseder: Yes, this is Barbelo as the Consciousness of the entire Creation, the Universe's forgetfulness as a Mother of All see. This then is a mantle or ambassadoraship bestowed upon Gaia

[6:43:52 PM] Ishtara Raven: yes. what is with all the names over all the body parts?[6:48:33 PM] Tony Bermanseder: good question, yes this is the stuff of detail you should not worry about. It relates to a mapping of something of the merkabah to every day of a solar year and such.[6:49:11 PM] Ishtara Raven: its interesting[6:49:14 PM] Tony Bermanseder: its so an early attempt to 'scientifically classify' an ancient taxonomy say[6:49:23 PM] Ishtara Raven: yeah i see that[6:49:55 PM] Ishtara Raven: just wondering about the names, their roots being significant to anything today in say scientific nomenclature[6:50:17 PM] Tony Bermanseder: this is not central to the creation story. The centrality is the actual COSMOGONY, meaning Creation Story Before there was any material creation (like the Big Bang) see[6:50:34 PM] Ishtara Raven: yeah[6:50:42 PM] Tony Bermanseder: COSMOLOGY is relevant AFTER the COSMOGONY see.[6:50:47 PM] Ishtara Raven: of course[6:51:37 PM] Tony Bermanseder: So the apocryphon actually describes what happened before the 'Big Bang of Science' - if they just could see it; they could save millions in their 'experiments' to find out.

[6:52:31 PM] Ishtara Raven: yes its talking about the forethought[6:53:27 PM] Tony Bermanseder: absolutely, the ORDERING principle of the third heaven-hell actually.[6:53:55 PM] Tony Bermanseder: Without space and time the forethought discovers itself as maleness in the femaleness of the Afterthought.[6:54:11 PM] Tony Bermanseder: This is superlatively profound and solves many many mysteries.[6:55:04 PM] Tony Bermanseder: The EVENT of the Before so evades any necessity for TIME in ordering the After as following the Before.[6:55:20 PM] Ishtara Raven: "But the blessed One, the Mother-Father, the beneficent and merciful One, had mercy on the power of the mother which had been brought forth out of the chief archon, for they (the archons) might gain power over the natural and perceptible body. And he sent, through his beneficent Spirit and his great mercy, a helper to Adam, luminous Epinoia which comes out of him, who is called Life. And she assists the whole creature, by toiling with him and by restoring him to his fullness and by teaching him about the descent of his seed (and) by teaching him about the way of ascent, (which is) the way he came down. And the luminous Epinoia was hidden in Adam, in order that the archons might not know her, but that the Epinoia might be a correction of the deficiency of the mother.

[6:56:18 PM] Ishtara Raven: so the universe HAD to be formed so that Adam could know the way of his ascent[6:56:33 PM] Tony Bermanseder: beautifully stated[6:56:50 PM] Tony Bermanseder: Adam=Merkabah of the Manybodied Logos see[6:57:00 PM] Ishtara Raven: YES[6:57:24 PM] Tony Bermanseder: You are a good and aware acolyte today lol[6:57:49 PM] Ishtara Raven: "And the man came forth because of the shadow of the light which is in him.[6:57:59 PM] Ishtara Raven: the shadow of HIS light[6:58:05 PM] Ishtara Raven: thats what WE are[6:58:54 PM] Tony Bermanseder: Yes and so you are discovering how to decode and READ the ancient scolls. well done[6:59:13 PM] Tony Bermanseder: Gospel of Thomas stuff everywhere[6:59:15 PM] Ishtara Raven: LIFE is what awakens us[6:59:18 PM] Ishtara Raven: living[6:59:32 PM] Tony Bermanseder: The Perennial Philosophy of the Ancient Wisdom Keepers[6:59:37 PM] Ishtara Raven: But the Epinoia of the light which was in him, she is the one who was to awaken his thinking.[6:59:58 PM] Ishtara Raven: without life 'God' cannot wake up

[7:00:49 PM] Ishtara Raven: And they brought him (Adam) into the shadow of death, in order that they might form (him) again from earth and water and fire and the spirit which originates in matter, which is the ignorance of darkness and desire, and their counterfeit spirit. This is the tomb of the newly-formed body with which the robbers had clothed the man, the bond of forgetfulness; and he became a mortal man. This is the first one who came down, and the first separation. But the Epinoia of the light which was in him, she is the one who was to awaken his thinking.[7:01:05 PM] Ishtara Raven: i notice the word COUNTERFEIT

[7:01:43 PM] Ishtara Raven: if we don't wake up what sleeps within us, we die[7:03:10 PM] Tony Bermanseder: Yes and the GOT restates in Jesus saying, that that what you fail to bring out of yourself that failing will kill you; but if you bring forth what is hidden inside of you, this same thing will give you eternal life.[7:03:54 PM] Tony Bermanseder: So you see why I recommend anyone reading the GOT, to also read the 'Secret Book of John'.[7:04:16 PM] Ishtara Raven: yes and i see it now.

[7:05:58 PM] Tony Bermanseder: Can you see the new cosmic philosophy in that, eliminating the need for religions and 'holy books'?[7:06:33 PM] Tony Bermanseder: Its very simply the 'Self-realisation' of what 'God' and the 'Logos' are.

[7:07:02 PM] Ishtara Raven: yes, no dogma, no BS[7:07:08 PM] Ishtara Raven: simple truth[7:07:47 PM] Tony Bermanseder: Indeed, just a human mind thinking 'out of the box' and eschewing the brainwashings and the social conditionings of history. Telling from the position of presumed 'authority' how things should be from the 'educated, aristocracy, royalty, government say to the general populance.[7:08:21 PM] Tony Bermanseder: This btw, then becomes the ET-Mind of perceiving nature and reality.

[7:09:41 PM] Ishtara Raven: Now up to the present day, sexual intercourse continued due to the chief archon. And he planted sexual desire in her who belongs to Adam. And he produced through intercourse the copies of the bodies, and he inspired them with his counterfeit spirit.[7:10:12 PM] Ishtara Raven: hehe making copys, just like a holograms

[7:11:26 PM] Tony Bermanseder: yes, but here the greater Logos steps in in the story of Bigmo's Balloon.[7:12:18 PM] Tony Bermanseder: The sexual desire becomes the 'tool' of Jehovh to keep Adam interested in Eve and vice versa 'forgetting' their mission of 'rescuing' the creator from his loneliness see - rather tricky![7:12:52 PM] Tony Bermanseder: See the sexism in Eve BELONGING to ADAM and as the 'Rib from Man' thing of the inequality.[7:12:56 PM] Ishtara Raven: yes i see that[7:13:20 PM] Ishtara Raven: it was a trick to manifest the manyness[7:13:29 PM] Ishtara Raven: create the vessels of mercy[7:13:30 PM] Tony Bermanseder: This entire mixup, which the Thuban data elucidated on Project Avalon to exhaustion.

[7:15:59 PM] Tony Bermanseder: anyway I am pasting this onto the main forum now and stop the discourse to publish on the forum thanks for the excellent conversation here raven.

The Nag Hammadi LibraryThe Apocryphon of John (The Secret Book of John - The Secret Revelation of John)

Translated by Frederik Wisse

The Apocryphon of John is commonly referenced by two other names: The Secret Book of John and The Secret Revelation of John, depending upon how the word "Apocryphon" is translated. Their are four surviving Coptic manuscripts of this text: two shorter version found in the Berlin Codex; and Nag Hammadi Codex III, and two longer version, found in Nag Hammadi Codex II and IV. This translation prepared by Dr. Wisse for the Nag Hammadi Library in English uses all four manuscripts to produce a single text.

Separate translations of the short and long version, along with extensive additional resources, are available in the Apocryphon of John Collection of the Gnostic Society Library.

Visit the Apocryphon of John Collection for more information

The teaching of the savior, and the revelation of the mysteries and the things hidden in silence, even these things which he taught John, his disciple.

And it happened one day, when John, the brother of James - who are the sons of Zebedee - had come up to the temple, that a Pharisee named Arimanius approached him and said to him, "Where is your master whom you followed?" And he said to him, "He has gone to the place from which he came." The Pharisee said to him, "With deception did this Nazarene deceive you (pl.), and he filled your ears with lies, and closed your hearts (and) turned you from the traditions of your fathers."

When I, John, heard these things I turned away from the temple to a desert place. And I grieved greatly in my heart, saying, "How then was the savior appointed, and why was he sent into the world by his Father, and who is his Father who sent him, and of what sort is that aeon to which we shall go? For what did he mean when he said to us, 'This aeon to which you will go is of the type of the imperishable aeon, but he did not teach us concerning the latter, of what sort it is."

Straightway, while I was contemplating these things, behold, the heavens opened and the whole creation which is below heaven shone, and the world was shaken. I was afraid, and behold I saw in the light a youth who stood by me. While I looked at him, he became like an old man. And he changed his likeness (again), becoming like a servant. There was not a plurality before me, but there was a likeness with multiple forms in the light, and the likenesses appeared through each other, and the likeness had three forms.

He said to me, "John, John, why do you doubt, or why are you afraid? You are not unfamiliar with this image, are you? - that is, do not be timid! - I am the one who is with you (pl.) always. I am the Father, I am the Mother, I am the Son. I am the undefiled and incorruptible one. Now I have come to teach you what is and what was and what will come to pass, that you may know the things which are not revealed and those which are revealed, and to teach you concerning the unwavering race of the perfect Man. Now, therefore, lift up your face, that you may receive the things that I shall teach you today, and may tell them to your fellow spirits who are from the unwavering race of the perfect Man."

And I asked to know it, and he said to me, "The Monad is a monarchy with nothing above it. It is he who exists as God and Father of everything, the invisible One who is above everything, who exists as incorruption, which is in the pure light into which no eye can look.

"He is the invisible Spirit, of whom it is not right to think of him as a god, or something similar. For he is more than a god, since there is nothing above him, for no one lords it over him. For he does not exist in something inferior to him, since everything exists in him. For it is he who establishes himself. He is eternal, since he does not need anything. For he is total perfection. He did not lack anything, that he might be completed by it; rather he is always completely perfect in light. He is illimitable, since there is no one prior to him to set limits to him. He is unsearchable, since there exists no one prior to him to examine him. He is immeasurable, since there was no one prior to him to measure him. He is invisible, since no one saw him. He is eternal, since he exists eternally. He is ineffable, since no one was able to comprehend him to speak about him. He is unnameable, since there is no one prior to him to give him a name.

"He is immeasurable light, which is pure, holy (and) immaculate. He is ineffable, being perfect in incorruptibility. (He is) not in perfection, nor in blessedness, nor in divinity, but he is far superior. He is not corporeal nor is he incorporeal. He is neither large nor is he small. There is no way to say, 'What is his quantity?' or, 'What is his quality?', for no one can know him. He is not someone among (other) beings, rather he is far superior. Not that he is (simply) superior, but his essence does not partake in the aeons nor in time. For he who partakes in an aeon was prepared beforehand. Time was not apportioned to him, since he does not receive anything from another, for it would be received on loan. For he who precedes someone does not lack, that he may receive from him. For rather, it is the latter that looks expectantly at him in his light.

"For the perfection is majestic. He is pure, immeasurable mind. He is an aeon-giving aeon. He is life-giving life. He is a blessedness-giving blessed one. He is knowledge-giving knowledge. He is goodness-giving goodness. He is mercy and redemption-giving mercy. He is grace-giving grace, not because he possesses it, but because he gives the immeasurable, incomprehensible light.

"How am I to speak with you about him? His aeon is indestructible, at rest and existing in silence, reposing (and) being prior to everything. For he is the head of all the aeons, and it is he who gives them strength in his goodness. For we know not the ineffable things, and we do not understand what is immeasurable, except for him who came forth from him, namely (from) the Father. For it is he who told it to us alone. For it is he who looks at himself in his light which surrounds him, namely the spring of the water of life. And it is he who gives to all the aeons and in every way, (and) who gazes upon his image which he sees in the spring of the Spirit. It is he who puts his desire in his water-light which is in the spring of the pure light-water which surrounds him.

"And his thought performed a deed and she came forth, namely she who had appeared before him in the shine of his light. This is the first power which was before all of them (and) which came forth from his mind, She is the forethought of the All - her light shines like his light - the perfect power which is the image of the invisible, virginal Spirit who is perfect. The first power, the glory of Barbelo, the perfect glory in the aeons, the glory of the revelation, she glorified the virginal Spirit and it was she who praised him, because thanks to him she had come forth. This is the first thought, his image; she became the womb of everything, for it is she who is prior to them all, the Mother-Father, the first man, the holy Spirit, the thrice-male, the thrice-powerful, the thrice-named androgynous one, and the eternal aeon among the invisible ones, and the first to come forth.

" requested from the invisible, virginal Spirit - that is Barbelo - to give her foreknowledge. And the Spirit consented. And when he had consented, the foreknowledge came forth, and it stood by the forethought; it originates from the thought of the invisible, virginal Spirit. It glorified him and his perfect power, Barbelo, for it was for her sake that it had come into being.

"And she requested again to grant her indestructibility, and he consented. When he had consented, indestructibility came forth, and it stood by the thought and the foreknowledge. It glorified the invisible One and Barbelo, the one for whose sake they had come into being.

"And Barbelo requested to grant her eternal life. And the invisible Spirit consented. And when he had consented, eternal life came forth, and they attended and glorified the invisible Spirit and Barbelo, the one for whose sake they had come into being.

"And she requested again to grant her truth. And the invisible Spirit consented. And when he had consented, truth came forth, and they attended and glorified the invisible, excellent Spirit and his Barbelo, the one for whose sake they had come into being.

"This is the pentad of the aeons of the Father, which is the first man, the image of the invisible Spirit; it is the forethought, which Barbelo, and the thought, and the foreknowledge, and the indestructibility, and the eternal life, and the truth. This is the androgynous pentad of the aeons, which is the decad of the aeons, which is the Father.

"And he looked at Barbelo with the pure light which surrounds the invisible Spirit, and (with) his spark, and she conceived from him. He begot a spark of light with a light resembling blessedness. But it does not equal his greatness. This was an only-begotten child of the Mother-Father which had come forth; it is the only offspring, the only-begotten one of the Father, the pure Light.

"And the invisible, virginal Spirit rejoiced over the light which came forth, that which was brought forth first by the first power of his forethought, which is Barbelo. And he anointed it with his goodness until it became perfect, not lacking in any goodness, because he had anointed it with the goodness of the invisible Spirit. And it attended him as he poured upon it. And immediately when it had received from the Spirit, it glorified the holy Spirit and the perfect forethought, for whose sake it had come forth.

"And it requested to give it a fellow worker, which is the mind, and he consented gladly. And when the invisible Spirit had consented, the mind came forth, and it attended Christ, glorifying him and Barbelo. And all these came into being in silence.

"And the mind wanted to perform a deed through the word of the invisible Spirit. And his will became a deed and it appeared with the mind; and the light glorified it. And the word followed the will. For because of the word, Christ the divine Autogenes created everything. And the eternal life his will and the mind and the foreknowledge attended and glorified the invisible Spirit and Barbelo, for whose sake they had come into being.

"And the holy Spirit completed the divine Autogenes, his son, together with Barbelo, that he may attend the mighty and invisible, virginal Spirit as the divine Autogenes, the Christ whom he had honored with a mighty voice. He came forth through the forethought. And the invisible, virginal Spirit placed the divine Autogenes of truth over everything. And he subjected to him every authority, and the truth which is in him, that he may know the All which had been called with a name exalted above every name. For that name will be mentioned to those who are worthy of it.

"For from the light, which is the Christ, and the indestructibility, through the gift of the Spirit the four lights (appeared) from the divine Autogenes. He expected that they might attend him. And the three (are) will, thought, and life. And the four powers (are) understanding, grace, perception, and prudence. And grace belongs to the light-aeon Armozel, which is the first angel. And there are three other aeons with this aeon: grace, truth, and form. And the second light (is) Oriel, who has been placed over the second aeon. And there are three other aeons with him: conception, perception, and memory. And the third light is Daveithai, who has been placed over the third aeon. And there are three other aeons with him: understanding, love, and idea. And the fourth aeon was placed over the fourth light Eleleth. And there are three other aeons with him: perfection, peace, and wisdom. These are the four lights which attend the divine Autogenes, (and) these are the twelve aeons which attend the son of the mighty one, the Autogenes, the Christ, through the will and the gift of the invisible Spirit. And the twelve aeons belong to the son of the Autogenes. And all things were established by the will of the holy Spirit through the Autogenes.

"And from the foreknowledge of the perfect mind, through the revelation of the will of the invisible Spirit and the will of the Autogenes, perfect Man (appeared), the first revelation, and the truth. It is he whom the virginal Spirit called Pigera-Adamas, and he placed him over the first aeon with the mighty one, the Autogenes, the Christ, by the first light Armozel; and with him are his powers. And the invisible one gave him a spiritual, invincible power. And he spoke and glorified and praised the invisible Spirit, saying, 'It is for thy sake that everything has come into being and everything will return to thee. I shall praise and glorify thee and the Autogenes and the aeons, the three: the Father, the Mother, and the Son, the perfect power.'

"And he placed his son Seth over the second aeon in the presence of the second light Oriel. And in the third aeon the seed of Seth was placed over the third light Daveithai. And the souls of the saints were placed (there). And in the fourth aeon the souls were placed of those who do not know the Pleroma and who did not repent at once, but who persisted for a while and repented afterwards; they are by the fourth light Eleleth. These are creatures which glorify the invisible Spirit.

"And the Sophia of the Epinoia, being an aeon, conceived a thought from herself and the conception of the invisible Spirit and foreknowledge. She wanted to bring forth a likeness out of herself without the consent of the Spirit, - he had not approved - and without her consort, and without his consideration. And though the person of her maleness had not approved, and she had not found her agreement, and she had thought without the consent of the Spirit and the knowledge of her agreement, (yet) she brought forth. And because of the invincible power which is in her, her thought did not remain idle, and something came out of her which was imperfect and different from her appearance, because she had created it without her consort. And it was dissimilar to the likeness of its mother, for it has another form.

"And when she saw (the consequences of) her desire, it changed into a form of a lion-faced serpent. And its eyes were like lightning fires which flash. She cast it away from her, outside that place, that no one of the immortal ones might see it, for she had created it in ignorance. And she surrounded it with a luminous cloud, and she placed a throne in the middle of the cloud that no one might see it except the holy Spirit who is called the mother of the living. And she called his name Yaltabaoth.

"This is the first archon who took a great power from his mother. And he removed himself from her and moved away from the places in which he was born. He became strong and created for himself other aeons with a flame of luminous fire which (still) exists now. And he joined with his arrogance which is in him and begot authorities for himself. The name of the first one is Athoth, whom the generations call the reaper. The second one is Harmas, who is the eye of envy. The third one is Kalila-Oumbri. The fourth one is Yabel. The fifth one is Adonaiou, who is called Sabaoth. The sixth one is Cain, whom the generations of men call the sun. The seventh is Abel. The eighth is Abrisene. The ninth is Yobel. The tenth is Armoupieel. The eleventh is Melceir-Adonein. The twelfth is Belias, it is he who is over the depth of Hades. And he placed seven kings - each corresponding to the firmaments of heaven - over the seven heavens, and five over the depth of the abyss, that they may reign. And he shared his fire with them, but he did not send forth from the power of the light which he had taken from his mother, for he is ignorant darkness.

"And when the light had mixed with the darkness, it caused the darkness to shine. And when the darkness had mixed with the light, it darkened the light and it became neither light nor dark, but it became dim.

"Now the archon who is weak has three names. The first name is Yaltabaoth, the second is Saklas, and the third is Samael. And he is impious in his arrogance which is in him. For he said, 'I am God and there is no other God beside me,' for he is ignorant of his strength, the place from which he had come.

"And the archons created seven powers for themselves, and the powers created for themselves six angels for each one until they became 365 angels. And these are the bodies belonging with the names: the first is Athoth, a he has a sheep's face; the second is Eloaiou, he has a donkey's face; the third is Astaphaios, he has a hyena's face; the fourth is Yao, he has a serpent's face with seven heads; the fifth is Sabaoth, he has a dragon's face; the sixth is Adonin, he had a monkey's face; the seventh is Sabbede, he has a shining fire-face. This is the sevenness of the week.

"But Yaltabaoth had a multitude of faces, more than all of them, so that he could put a face before all of them, according to his desire, when he is in the midst of seraphs. He shared his fire with them; therefore he became lord over them. Because of the power of the glory he possessed of his mother's light, he called himself God. And he did not obey the place from which he came. And he united the seven powers in his thought with the authorities which were with him. And when he spoke it happened. And he named each power beginning with the highest: the first is goodness with the first (authority), Athoth; the second is foreknowledge with the second one, Eloaio; and the third is divinity with the third one, Astraphaio); the fourth is lordship with the fourth one, Yao; the fifth is kingdom with the fifth one, Sabaoth; the sixth is envy with the sixth one, Adonein; the seventh is understanding with the seventh one, Sabbateon. And these have a firmament corresponding to each aeon-heaven. They were given names according to the glory which belongs to heaven for the destruction of the powers. And in the names which were given to them by their Originator there was power. But the names which were given them according to the glory which belongs to heaven mean for them destruction and powerlessness. Thus they have two names.

"And having created [...] everything, he organized according to the model of the first aeons which had come into being, so that he might create them like the indestructible ones. Not because he had seen the indestructible ones, but the power in him, which he had taken from his mother, produced in him the likeness of the cosmos. And when he saw the creation which surrounds him, and the multitude of the angels around him which had come forth from him, he said to them, 'I am a jealous God, and there is no other God beside me.' But by announcing this he indicated to the angels who attended him that there exists another God. For if there were no other one, of whom would he be jealous?

"Then the mother began to move to and fro. She became aware of the deficiency when the brightness of her light diminished. And she became dark because her consort had not agreed with her."

And I said, "Lord, what does it mean that she moved to and fro?" But he smiled and said, "Do not think it is, as Moses said, 'above the waters.' No, but when she had seen the wickedness which had happened, and the theft which her son had committed, she repented. And she was overcome by forgetfulness in the darkness of ignorance and she began to be ashamed. And she did not dare to return, but she was moving about. And the moving is the going to and fro.

"And the arrogant one took a power from his mother. For he was ignorant, thinking that there existed no other except his mother alone. And when he saw the multitude of the angels which he had created, then he exalted himself above them.

"And when the mother recognized that the garment of darkness was imperfect, then she knew that her consort had not agreed with her. She repented with much weeping. And the whole pleroma heard the prayer of her repentance, and they praised on her behalf the invisible, virginal Spirit. And he consented; and when the invisible Spirit had consented, the holy Spirit poured over her from their whole pleroma. For it was not her consort who came to her, but he came to her through the pleroma in order that he might correct her deficiency. And she was taken up not to her own aeon but above her son, that she might be in the ninth until she has corrected her deficiency.

"And a voice came forth from the exalted aeon-heaven: 'The Man exists and the son of Man.' And the chief archon, Yaltabaoth, heard (it) and thought that the voice had come from his mother. And he did not know from where it came. And he taught them, the holy and perfect Mother-Father, the complete foreknowledge, the image of the invisible one who is the Father of the all (and) through whom everything came into being, the first Man. For he revealed his likeness in a human form.

"And the whole aeon of the chief archon trembled, and the foundations of the abyss shook. And of the waters which are above matter, the underside was illuminated by the appearance of his image which had been revealed. And when all the authorities and the chief archon looked, they saw the whole region of the underside which was illuminated. And through the light they saw the form of the image in the water.

"And he said to the authorities which attend him, 'Come, let us create a man according to the image of God and according to our likeness, that his image may become a light for us.' And they created by means of their respective powers in correspondence with the characteristics which were given. And each authority supplied a characteristic in the form of the image which he had seen in its natural (form). He created a being according to the likeness of the first, perfect Man. And they said, 'Let us call him Adam, that his name may become a power of light for us.'

"And the powers began: the first one, goodness, created a bone-soul; and the second, foreknowledge, created a sinew-soul; the third, divinity, created a flesh-soul; and the fourth, the lordship, created a marrow-soul; the fifth, kingdom created a blood-soul; the sixth, envy, created a skin-soul; the seventh, understanding, created a hair-soul. And the multitude of the angels attended him and they received from the powers the seven substances of the natural (form) in order to create the proportions of the limbs and the proportion of the rump and the proper working together of each of the parts.

"The first one began to create the head. Eteraphaope-Abron created his head; Meniggesstroeth created the brain; Asterechme (created) the right eye; Thaspomocha, the left eye; Yeronumos, the right ear; Bissoum, the left ear; Akioreim, the nose; Banen-Ephroum, the lips; Amen, the teeth; Ibikan, the molars; Basiliademe, the tonsils; Achcha, the uvula; Adaban, the neck; Chaaman, the vertebrae; Dearcho, the throat; Tebar, the right shoulder; [...], the left shoulder; Mniarcon, the right elbow; [...], the left elbow; Abitrion, the right underarm; Evanthen, the left underarm; Krys, the right hand; Beluai, the left hand; Treneu, the fingers of the right hand; Balbel, the fingers of the left hand; Kriman, the nails of the hands; Astrops, the right breast; Barroph, the left breast; Baoum, the right shoulder joint; Ararim, the left shoulder joint; Areche, the belly; Phthave, the navel; Senaphim, the abdomen; Arachethopi, the right ribs; Zabedo, the left ribs; Barias, the right hip; Phnouth the left hip; Abenlenarchei, the marrow; Chnoumeninorin, the bones; Gesole, the stomach; Agromauna, the heart; Bano, the lungs; Sostrapal, the liver; Anesimalar, the spleen; Thopithro, the intestines; Biblo, the kidneys; Roeror, the sinews; Taphreo, the spine of the body; Ipouspoboba, the veins; Bineborin, the arteries; Atoimenpsephei, theirs are the breaths which are in all the limbs; Entholleia, all the flesh; Bedouk, the right buttock (?); Arabeei, the left penis; Eilo, the testicles; Sorma, the genitals; Gorma-Kaiochlabar, the right thigh; Nebrith, the left thigh; Pserem, the kidneys of the right leg; Asaklas, the left kidney; Ormaoth, the right leg; Emenun, the left leg; Knyx, the right shin-bone; Tupelon, the left shin-bone; Achiel, the right knee; Phnene, the left knee; Phiouthrom, the right foot; Boabel, its toes; Trachoun, the left foot; Phikna, its toes; Miamai, the nails of the feet; Labernioum - .

"And those who were appointed over all of these are: Zathoth, Armas, Kalila, Jabel, (Sabaoth, Cain, Abel). And those who are particularly active in the limbs (are) the head Diolimodraza, the neck Yammeax, the right shoulder Yakouib, the left shoulder Verton, the right hand Oudidi, the left one Arbao, the fingers of the right hand Lampno, the fingers of the left hand Leekaphar, the right breast Barbar, the left breast Imae, the chest Pisandriaptes, the right shoulder joint Koade, the left shoulder joint Odeor, the right ribs Asphixix, the left ribs Synogchouta, the belly Arouph, the womb Sabalo, the right thigh Charcharb, the left thigh Chthaon, all the genitals Bathinoth, the right leg Choux, the left leg Charcha, the right shin-bone Aroer, the left shin-bone Toechtha, the right knee Aol, the left knee Charaner, the right foot Bastan, its toes Archentechtha, the left foot Marephnounth, its toes Abrana.

"Seven have power over all of these: Michael, Ouriel, Asmenedas, Saphasatoel, Aarmouriam, Richram, Amiorps. And the ones who are in charge over the senses (are) Archendekta; and he who is in charge over the receptions (is) Deitharbathas; and he who is in charge over the imagination (is) Oummaa; and he who is over the composition Aachiaram, and he who is over the whole impulse Riaramnacho.

"And the origin of the demons which are in the whole body is determined to be four: heat, cold, wetness, and dryness. And the mother of all of them is matter. And he who reigns over the heat (is) Phloxopha; and he who reigns over the cold is Oroorrothos; and he who reigns over what is dry (is) Erimacho; and he who reigns over the wetness (is) Athuro. And the mother of all of these, Onorthochrasaei, stands in their midst, since she is illimitable, and she mixes with all of them. And she is truly matter, for they are nourished by her.

"The four chief demons are: Ephememphi, who belongs to pleasure, Yoko, who belongs to desire, Nenentophni, who belongs to grief, Blaomen, who belongs to fear. And the mother of them all is Aesthesis-Ouch-Epi-Ptoe. And from the four demons passions came forth. And from grief (came) envy, jealousy, distress, trouble, pain, callousness, anxiety, mourning, etc. And from pleasure much wickedness arises, and empty pride, and similar things. And from desire (comes) anger, wrath, and bitterness, and bitter passion, and unsatedness, and similar things. And from fear (comes) dread, fawning, agony, and shame. All of these are like useful things as well as evil things. But the insight into their true (character) is Anaro, who is the head of the material soul, for it belongs with the seven senses, Ouch-Epi-Ptoe.

"This is the number of the angels: together they are 365. They all worked on it until, limb for limb, the natural and the material body was completed by them. Now there are other ones in charge over the remaining passions whom I did not mention to you. But if you wish to know them, it is written in the book of Zoroaster. And all the angels and demons worked until they had constructed the natural body. And their product was completely inactive and motionless for a long time.

"And when the mother wanted to retrieve the power which she had given to the chief archon, she petitioned the Mother-Father of the All, who is most merciful. He sent, by means of the holy decree, the five lights down upon the place of the angels of the chief archon. They advised him that they should bring forth the power of the mother. And they said to Yaltabaoth, 'Blow into his face something of your spirit and his body will arise.' And he blew into his face the spirit which is the power of his mother; he did not know (this), for he exists in ignorance. And the power of the mother went out of Yaltabaoth into the natural body, which they had fashioned after the image of the one who exists from the beginning. The body moved and gained strength, and it was luminous.

"And in that moment the rest of the powers became jealous, because he had come into being through all of them and they had given their power to the man, and his intelligence was greater than that of those who had made him, and greater than that of the chief archon. And when they recognized that he was luminous, and that he could think better than they, and that he was free from wickedness, they took him and threw him into the lowest region of all matter.

"But the blessed One, the Mother-Father, the beneficent and merciful One, had mercy on the power of the mother which had been brought forth out of the chief archon, for they (the archons) might gain power over the natural and perceptible body. And he sent, through his beneficent Spirit and his great mercy, a helper to Adam, luminous Epinoia which comes out of him, who is called Life. And she assists the whole creature, by toiling with him and by restoring him to his fullness and by teaching him about the descent of his seed (and) by teaching him about the way of ascent, (which is) the way he came down. And the luminous Epinoia was hidden in Adam, in order that the archons might not know her, but that the Epinoia might be a correction of the deficiency of the mother.

"And the man came forth because of the shadow of the light which is in him. And his thinking was superior to all those who had made him. When they looked up, they saw that his thinking was superior. And they took counsel with the whole array of archons and angels. They took fire and earth and water and mixed them together with the four fiery winds. And they wrought them together and caused a great disturbance. And they brought him (Adam) into the shadow of death, in order that they might form (him) again from earth and water and fire and the spirit which originates in matter, which is the ignorance of darkness and desire, and their counterfeit spirit. This is the tomb of the newly-formed body with which the robbers had clothed the man, the bond of forgetfulness; and he became a mortal man. This is the first one who came down, and the first separation. But the Epinoia of the light which was in him, she is the one who was to awaken his thinking.

"And the archons took him and placed him in paradise. And they said to him, 'Eat, that is at leisure,' for their luxury is bitter and their beauty is depraved. And their luxury is deception and their trees are godlessness and their fruit is deadly poison and their promise is death. And the tree of their life they had placed in the midst of paradise.

"And I shall teach you (pl.) what is the mystery of their life, which is the plan which they made together, which is the likeness of their spirit. The root of this (tree) is bitter and its branches are death, its shadow is hate and deception is in its leaves, and its blossom is the ointment of evil, and its fruit is death and desire is its seed, and it sprouts in darkness. The dwelling place of those who taste from it is Hades, and the darkness is their place of rest.

"But what they call the tree of knowledge of good and evil, which is the Epinoia of the light, they stayed in front of it in order that he (Adam) might not look up to his fullness and recognize the nakedness of his shamefulness. But it was I who brought about that they ate."

And to I said to the savior, "Lord, was it not the serpent that taught Adam to eat?" The savior smiled and said, "The serpent taught them to eat from wickedness of begetting, lust, (and) destruction, that he (Adam) might be useful to him. And he (Adam) knew that he was disobedient to him (the chief archon) due to light of the Epinoia which is in him, which made him more correct in his thinking than the chief archon. And (the latter) wanted to bring about the power which he himself had given him. And he brought a forgetfulness over Adam."

And I said to the savior, "What is the forgetfulness?" And he said "It is not the way Moses wrote (and) you heard. For he said in his first book, 'He put him to sleep' (Gn 2:21), but (it was) in his perception. For also he said through the prophet, 'I will make their hearts heavy, that they may not pay attention and may not see' (Is 6:10).

"Then the Epinoia of the light hid herself in him (Adam). And the chief archon wanted to bring her out of his rib. But the Epinoia of the light cannot be grasped. Although darkness pursued her, it did not catch her. And he brought a part of his power out of him. And he made another creature, in the form of a woman, according to the likeness of the Epinoia which had appeared to him. And he brought the part which he had taken from the power of the man into the female creature, and not as Moses said, 'his rib-bone.'

"And he (Adam) saw the woman beside him. And in that moment the luminous Epinoia appeared, and she lifted the veil which lay over his mind. And he became sober from the drunkenness of darkness. And he recognized his counter-image, and he said, 'This is indeed bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh.' Therefore the man will leave his father and his mother, and he will cleave to his wife, and they will both be one flesh. For they will send him his consort, and he will leave his father and his mother ... (3 lines unreadable)

"And our sister Sophia (is) she who came down in innocence in order to rectify her deficiency. Therefore she was called Life, which is the mother of the living, by the foreknowledge of the sovereignty of heaven. And through her they have tasted the perfect Knowledge. I appeared in the form of an eagle on the tree of knowledge, which is the Epinoia from the foreknowledge of the pure light, that I might teach them and awaken them out of the depth of sleep. For they were both in a fallen state, and they recognized their nakedness. The Epinoia appeared to them as a light; she awakened their thinking.

"And when Yaltabaoth noticed that they withdrew from him, he cursed his earth. He found the woman as she was preparing herself for her husband. He was lord over her, though he did not know the mystery which had come to pass through the holy decree. And they were afraid to blame him. And he showed his angels his ignorance which is in him. And he cast them out of paradise and he clothed them in gloomy darkness. And the chief archon saw the virgin who stood by Adam, and that the luminous Epinoia of life had appeared in her. And Yaltabaoth was full of ignorance. And when the foreknowledge of the All noticed (it), she sent some and they snatched life out of Eve.

"And the chief archon seduced her and he begot in her two sons; the first and the second (are) Eloim and Yave. Eloim has a bear-face and Yave has a cat-face. The one is righteous but the other is unrighteous. (Yave is righteous but Eloim is unrighteous.) Yave he set over the fire and the wind, and Eloim he set over the water and the earth. And these he called with the names Cain and Abel with a view to deceive.

"Now up to the present day, sexual intercourse continued due to the chief archon. And he planted sexual desire in her who belongs to Adam. And he produced through intercourse the copies of the bodies, and he inspired them with his counterfeit spirit.

"And the two archons he set over principalities, so that they might rule over the tomb. And when Adam recognized the likeness of his own foreknowledge, he begot the likeness of the son of man. He called him Seth, according to the way of the race in the aeons. Likewise, the mother also sent down her spirit, which is in her likeness and a copy of those who are in the pleroma, for she will prepare a dwelling place for the aeons which will come down. And he made them drink water of forgetfulness, from the chief archon, in order that they might not know from where they came. Thus, the seed remained for a while assisting (him), in order that, when the Spirit comes forth from the holy aeons, he may raise up and heal him from the deficiency, that the whole pleroma may (again) become holy and faultless."

And I said to the savior, "Lord, will all the souls then be brought safely into the pure light?" He answered and said to me, "Great things have arisen in your mind, for it is difficult to explain them to others except to those who are from the immovable race. Those on whom the Spirit of life will descend and (with whom) he will be with the power, they will be saved and become perfect and be worthy of the greatness and be purified in that place from all wickedness and the involvements in evil. Then they have no other care than the incorruption alone, to which they direct their attention from here on, without anger or envy or jealousy or desire and greed of anything. They are not affected by anything except the state of being in the flesh alone, which they bear while looking expectantly for the time when they will be met by the receivers (of the body). Such then are worthy of the imperishable, eternal life and the calling. For they endure everything and bear up under everything, that they may finish the good fight and inherit eternal life."

I said to him, "Lord, the souls of those who did not do these works (but) on whom the power and Spirit descended, (will they be rejected?" He answered and said to me, "If) the Spirit (descended upon them), they will in any case be saved, and they will change (for the better). For the power will descend on every man, for without it no one can stand. And after they are born, then, when the Spirit of life increases and the power comes and strengthens that soul, no one can lead it astray with works of evil. But those on whom the counterfeit spirit descends are drawn by him and they go astray."

And I said, "Lord, where will the souls of these go when they have come out of their flesh?" And he smiled and said to me, "The soul in which the power will become stronger than the counterfeit spirit, is strong and it flees from evil and, through the intervention of the incorruptible one, it is saved, and it is taken up to the rest of the aeons."

And I said, "Lord, those, however, who have not known to whom they belong, where will their souls be?" And he said to me, "In those, the despicable spirit has gained strength when they went astray. And he burdens the soul and draws it to the works of evil, and he casts it down into forgetfulness. And after it comes out of (the body), it is handed over to the authorities, who came into being through the archon, and they bind it with chains and cast it into prison, and consort with it until it is liberated from the forgetfulness and acquires knowledge. And if thus it becomes perfect, it is saved."

And I said, "Lord, how can the soul become smaller and return into the nature of its mother or into man?" Then he rejoiced when I asked him this, and he said to me, "Truly, you are blessed, for you have understood! That soul is made to follow another one (fem.), since the Spirit of life is in it. It is saved through him. It is not again cast into another flesh."

And I said, "Lord, these also who did not know, but have turned away, where will their souls go?" Then he said to me, "To that place where the angels of poverty go they will be taken, the place where there is no repentance. And they will be kept for the day on which those who have blasphemed the spirit will be tortured, and they will be punished with eternal punishment."

And I said, "Lord, from where did the counterfeit spirit come?" Then he said to me, "The Mother-Father, who is rich in mercy, the holy Spirit in every way, the One who is merciful and who sympathizes with you (pl.), i.e., the Epinoia of the foreknowledge of light, he raised up the offspring of the perfect race and its thinking and the eternal light of man. When the chief archon realized that they were exalted above him in the height - and they surpass him in thinking - then he wanted to seize their thought, not knowing that they surpassed him in thinking, and that he will not be able to seize them.

"He made a plan with his authorities, which are his powers, and they committed together adultery with Sophia, and bitter fate was begotten through them, which is the last of the changeable bonds. And it is of a sort that is interchangeable. And it is harder and stronger than she with whom the gods united, and the angels and the demons and all the generations until this day. For from that fate came forth every sin and injustice and blasphemy, and the chain of forgetfulness and ignorance and every severe command, and serious sins and great fears. And thus the whole creation was made blind, in order that they may not know God, who is above all of them. And because of the chain of forgetfulness, their sins were hidden. For they are bound with measures and times and moments, since it (fate) is lord over everything.

"And he (the chief archon) repented for everything which had come into being through him. This time he planned to bring a flood upon the work of man. But the greatness of the light of the foreknowledge informed Noah, and he proclaimed (it) to all the offspring which are the sons of men. But those who were strangers to him did not listen to him. It is not as Moses said, 'They hid themselves in an ark' (Gn 7: 7), but they hid themselves in a place, not only Noah, but also many other people from the immovable race. They went into a place and hid themselves in a luminous cloud. And he (Noah) recognized his authority, and she who belongs to the light was with him, having shone on them because he (the chief archon) had brought darkness upon the whole earth.

"And he made a plan with his powers. He sent his angels to the daughters of men, that they might take some of them for themselves and raise offspring for their enjoyment. And at first they did not succeed. When they had no success, they gathered together again and they made a plan together. They created a counterfeit spirit, who resembles the Spirit who had descended, so as to pollute the souls through it. And the angels changed themselves in their likeness into the likeness of their mates (the daughters of men), filling them with the spirit of darkness, which they had mixed for them, and with evil. They brought gold and silver and a gift and copper and iron and metal and all kinds of things. And they steered the people who had followed them into great troubles, by leading them astray with many deceptions. They (the people) became old without having enjoyment. They died, not having found truth and without knowing the God of truth. And thus the whole creation became enslaved forever, from the foundation of the world until now. And they took women and begot children out of the darkness according to the likeness of their spirit. And they closed their hearts, and they hardened themselves through the hardness of the counterfeit spirit until now.

"I, therefore, the perfect Pronoia of the all, changed myself into my seed, for I existed first, going on every road. For I am the richness of the light; I am the remembrance of the pleroma.

"And I went into the realm of darkness and I endured till I entered the middle of the prison. And the foundations of chaos shook. And I hid myself from them because of their wickedness, and they did not recognize me.

"Again I returned for the second time, and I went about. I came forth from those who belong to the light, which is I, the remembrance of the Pronoia. I entered into the midst of darkness and the inside of Hades, since I was seeking (to accomplish) my task. And the foundations of chaos shook, that they might fall down upon those who are in chaos and might destroy them. And again I ran up to my root of light, lest they be destroyed before the time.

"Still for a third time I went - I am the light which exists in the light, I am the remembrance of the Pronoia - that I might enter into the midst of darkness and the inside of Hades. And I filled my face with the light of the completion of their aeon. And I entered into the midst of their prison, which is the prison of the body. And I said, 'He who hears, let him get up from the deep sleep.' And he wept and shed tears. Bitter tears he wiped from himself and he said, 'Who is it that calls my name, and from where has this hope come to me, while I am in the chains of the prison?' And I said, 'I am the Pronoia of the pure light; I am the thinking of the virginal Spirit, who raised you up to the honored place. Arise and remember that it is you who hearkened, and follow your root, which is I, the merciful one, and guard yourself against the angels of poverty and the demons of chaos and all those who ensnare you, and beware of the deep sleep and the enclosure of the inside of Hades.

"And I raised him up, and sealed him in the light of the water with five seals, in order that death might not have power over him from this time on.

"And behold, now I shall go up to the perfect aeon. I have completed everything for you in your hearing. And I have said everything to you that you might write them down and give them secretly to your fellow spirits, for this is the mystery of the immovable race."

And the savior presented these things to him that he might write them down and keep them secure. And he said to him, "Cursed be everyone who will exchange these things for a gift or for food or for drink or for clothing or for any other such thing." And these things were presented to him in a mystery, and immediately he disappeared from him. And he went to his fellow disciples and related to them what the savior had told him.

Jesus Christ, Amen.

The Apocryphon According to JohnSelection made from James M. Robinson, ed., The Nag Hammadi Library, revised edition. HarperCollins, San Francisco, 1990.

Goddess Freedom in Adam and Eve and Paul's apparent Sexism in the NT from John's Apocryphon

Throughout modern history, here meaning the timespan of the last two thousand years and corresponding to the cultural establishment of the Christian mainstream religion as a social construct; the role of womanhood within this religious paradigm has been clouded in a perceived sexism of male domination and feminine suppression.

In the so called middle ages, womanhood was generally associated with a perceived devilhood itself and resulted in associating any deviation of female independent thought and selfexpression with witchcraft and association with that devil as the adversary of God himself.

During the last two millennia or so countless atrocities and a general subjugation of the feminine so manifested in diverse forms to then result in 'grass root' movements and social reforms, often collectively labeled under the genre of feminism and searching for and a rediscovery of the feminine divinity.

This essay shall reexamine the reasons for this discriminative attitude, say as exemplified in the following scripture and then show the purpose for this perceived sexism to be anything but a temporary guardianship for the everpresent feminine divinity established at the creation itself.Woman are told not to speak in the churches and are not to fulfil the role of a male priest, as for example in:

1Corinthians.14.33-36:"For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church. What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?"

What scripture readers, lawmakers and legislators commonly fail to understand, is that scriptural and ancient texts like the above embed both exoteric-outer and endoteric-esoteric-inner meanings for discernment.The esoteric decipherment of extroverted text is fundamentally based on symbols and archetypes, which transcend any cultural and moralistic ethical meaning which might be in vogue at the time of the transcription, the translations or the edits of the former.

Then to allow such esoteric discernment, the origin and history of the archetypes and the symbols used becomes necessity for crystallization of the 'deeper' and inner meaning of the texts.Subsequently, the correct interpretation makes perfect sense; whilst the incorrect translation causes resentment and discord between religious factions with no end in sight.One might begin with the 'Unspeakable Holy Name' of the creator itself and it is the she-part of the 'Holy name' of (YaH)W(HeY)=(He-Soul)&(She-Soul), which 'by law' must be subject to the creator as the creation.

The He-part creates and the She-part manifests as the created, but for the higher purpose to give birth to the creator as 'her Baby and her creation'.

That is beautifully described in the gnostic mythology, where 'Barbelo' as the 'Wisdom of Sophia' and the 'First Thought' decides to create, without her creator and lover in the 'Perfect One', who had thought her into being.

Wikipedia reference to the 'Apocryphon of John' aka 'The Secret Book of John'; generally considered to be the main text to study and analyse the pre-Christian philosophy collectively labeled as 'Gnosis' or 'Insight' and related to 'Knowledge' and 'Scientia or Science'. Some of the wording in this text is convoluted and representative of the setting at the times. The labels and names of say the archons, can themselves can be considered lower order labelings for higher order principals, say as defined in modern scientific nomencalture. The description here is given as an introduction and shall become simplified in the later story of 'Bigmo's Balloon'.

{The Apocryphon, set in the framing device of a revelation delivered by the resurrected Christ to John the son of Zebedee, contains some of the most extensive detailing of classic dualistic Gnostic mythology that has survived; as one of the principal texts of the Nag Hammadi library, it is an essential text of study for anyone interested in Gnosticism. Frederick Wisse, who translated it, asserts that "The Apocryphon of John was still used in the eighth century by the Audians of Mesopotamia" (Wisse p 104).

The Apocryphon of John has become the central text for studying the gnostic tradition of Antiquity. The creation mythology it details has been the object of study of such writers as Carl Jung and Eric Voegelin.

Barbelo, when created, had been blessed with the fivefolded image of the Father as the Mother.

So Sophia was androgynous with her lover in Thought, Foreknowledge, Imperishability, Eternal Life and Truth. When the 'Perfect One' had entered her within the tenfolded 'Sephirotic Tree' of the androgyny; Barbelo conceived a 'Lovechild' of pure Light and brought forth the 'Christ'.The 'Father' or the 'Perfect One' blessed the 'only begotten' with 'Mind', after the 'only begotten' had asked for a companion for hisher 'Loving Light', which constituted its essence. And once the Father had given the 'Mind' the 'Mind' asked for the companionship of the 'Will' who in turn asked for the companionship of the 'Word' now manifest as the 'Logos' or the 'Word of Christ', which hitherto had been spoken in silence. The 'Loving Light' then mingled with the 'Loving Mind' and the 'Loving Will' and the 'Loving Word' to produce four starry realms or principalities as the domain for the 'LoveChild'.

The first Star is Armozel, the 'Fire of Michael' with Grace, Truth and Form expressing the mindfulness of the enlightened will by the word.The second Star is Oroiel, the 'Earth of Uriel' with Perception, Afterthought and Memory.The third Star is Daveithai, the 'Air of Gabriel' with Understanding, Love and Idea.The fourth Star is Eleleth, the 'Water of Raphael' with Perfection, Peace and Thoughtfulness.Having thus created the 'Kingdom of Christ' in principalities; the first revelation occurred; the first 'Perfect Image of the One Father' appeared as Pigeradamas, the 'Perfect Human One'.Pigeradamas became the Image of the Father through the medium of the 'Christ'; and the 'Word' of 'Christ' became 'flesh' in Pigeradamas, along with its companions of the 'Will' and the 'Mind'.And Pigeradamas was appointed to share Michael's principality of the Fire and Pigeradamas' Son Seth became ruler with Uriel's Earth and Pigeradamas' Grandson Enos ruled with Gabriel's Air.Raphael's Water then became the domicile for the subsequent generations and who had by then forgotten to honour their ancestors because of their loss of the thoughtfulness.

Now Barbelo, the Eternal Mother and lover of the 'Perfect One Father', had been created as Thought by the Forethought of the Father.

And Sophia became the Afterthought, born from the Thought and thought to experience what a Forethought might be and so Sophia, as the Wisdom of the Earth and the material creation, used herhis androgynous power of the doubled fivefolded symmetry of the 'Tree of Life' to give birth to a being just like herhisself.

But without herhis lover, the 'Perfect One', that what Barbelo brought forth was imperfect and not at all like herhisself, as shehe had it planned to be in herhis forethoughtfulness.

The 'illegitimate' Baby was a serpent with the face of a lion and with eyes like flashing lightning.

Barbelo called herhis Baby 'Yaldabaoth Saklas Samael'.

Barbelo became aware of herhis ignorance and tried to hide Yaldabaoth in a bright cloud and on a throne, so that noone in herhis realm of the 'Perfect One' would see, what shehe had done.

But Yaldabaoth had inherited great power from his mother and he was a he, since the she-part from the Father was not given to him in his conception.

And the light of the he-part given to Yaldabaoth by his mother made Yaldabaoth aware of the kingdom created by his older brothersister, the heshe of the 'ChristChild'.

But the missing she-part made him mindless and ignorant in regards to the Forethought of his GrandfatherMother, the 'Perfect One', who had given birth to his Mother through hisher Thought.And so Yaldabaoth could not understand the being of the Two-in-One and he declared throughout the kingdom, which he created as an image to the kingdom of the Christ:

"I am God and there is no other God besides me!"

And Yaldabaoth used the light of his Mother's power to infiltrate the kingdom of the Christ to pose as the lord of that kingdom.

He superimposed 12 of his own principalities upon the dominions of the four stars; seven he set over the seven heavens of: Athoth, Harmas, Kalila-Oumbri, Yabel, Adonaios-Sabaoth, Cain and Abel; and five he set over the five hells of: Abrisene, Yobel, Armoupiael, Melcheir-Adonein and Belias.The four stars he named as: Michael/Beelzebub; Uriel/Asmodeus; Gabriel/Belial; Raphael/Abaddon.

Grace became the Goodness of Athoth with the face of a sheep; Perception became the Forethought of Eloaios with the face of a donkey; Understanding became the Divinity of Astaphaios with the face of an hyena; Perfection became the Lordship of Yao with the face of a snake with seven heads; Truth became the Kingdom of Sabaoth with the face of a dragon; Afterthought became the Jealousy of Adonin with the face of an ape and Love became the Understanding of Sabbataios with the face of a flaming fire.

These are the seven heavens of Yaldabaoth superimposed upon the seven cycles of a week: Sunday as Athoth; Monday as Eloaios; Tuesday as Astaphaios; Wednesday as Yao; Thursday as Sabaoth; Friday as Adonin and Saturday as Sabbataios.But the Understanding of the Star Daveithai is the third heaven of Gemini and the Understanding of Sabbataios is mapped onto the seventh heaven of Love and of Libra for a 'twinned balance in the scales of justice'.

And so the five hells are mapped in the mirror of Love and Understanding to balance the Yaldabaothic definitions in:

1st & 12th heaven of the graceful thought of Aries/Pisces for the 5th hell of the thoughtlessness; 2nd & 11th heaven of the perceptive idea of Taurus/Aquarius for the 4th hell of the mental dullness; 4th & 10th heaven of the perfected memory of Cancer/Capricorn for the 3rd hell of the forgetfulness; 5th & 9th heaven of the truthful form of Leo/Sagittarius for the 2nd hell of noncreativity and the 6th & 8th heaven of the peaceful afterthought of Virgo/Scorpio for the 1st hell of war and conflict. But when Yaldabaoth sensed the magnificence of the 'Perfect Human' Pigeradamas, created in the Father's Image; he proclaimed: "I am a jealous God and there is no other God besides me!"

This statement by herhis wayward son stirred Barbelo; because if there was no other God, why then would the only God be jealous, jealous of whom? Barbelo's light had diminished, infused with the darkness of herhis noncooperation with the Father. The 'Arrogant One', did not accept any authority besides his mother; he was created thus in the absence of the 'Perfect One'.

So Sophia repented in the shadow of her ignorant creation and remembered herhis lover in the form of the himher of the heshe.

Then the fullness of the Father visited herhim to restore what shehe was lacking, placing Barbelo into the ninth heaven of the 'Perfect Form', just above herhis Son Yaldabaoth, who ruled from the eight' heaven of the first hell of war and conflict, overseeing his seven Yaldabaothic heavens as the usurping Lord of the creation.

And so Sophia Barbelo found herhisself in the 'Wilderness' awaiting deliverance.

Then was heard a voice from the 13th heaven, that is from the Father's domain of the F-space of the Forethought: "Humanity exists and the Child of Humanity in the Son of Man!"

As Yaldabaoth heard that voice, he thought it to come from his Mother, stationed above himself.

The foundations of hell began to shake and quake as the image of the MotherFather in human form appeared in the mirror of the M-space, reflecting the light of the 11th heaven of Barbelo's idea downwards into the lower heavenly dimensions and outwards into the 12th heaven of the thoughtfulness.Then Yaldabaoth, hungry for his Mother's light and power and overawed in the spectacular display of his Mother's might and authority called his rulers and said:

"Come, let us create a human being after the image of God and with a likeness to ourselves, so that this human image may give us light."

And Yaldabaoth and his powers of hell used the image of the MotherFather in the 11D mirror to create the human being, which he had sensed before, but had never seen in manifestation.

His Goodness created a 'soul of bone'; his Forethought created a 'soul of sinew'; his Divinity created a 'soul of flesh'; his Lordship created a 'soul of marrow'; his Kingdom created a 'soul of blood'; his Jealousy created a 'soul of skin' and his Understanding created a 'soul of eyelid'.

Thereafter 365 angelic qualities mixed the seven heavens and the five hells to manifest Adam, the first human being and after the form of Pigeradamas, the AdamEve of the 13th heaven, but appearing as the image of Yaldabaoth's Mother in the mirror.

But after the Yaldabaothic creators had finished their work, Adam would not move.

Barbelo's idea was to regain herhis power lost through herhis ignorant deed to Yaldabaoth; so shehe asked for the Father's assistance, who sent five stars, one each for every hell to Yaldabaoth for the purpose to advise them upon an action to bring Adam alive.

The messengers said to Yaldabaoth: "Breathe some of your spirit into the face of Adam, and then the body will arise."

Yaldabaoth did so, not knowing that his spirit was the lost power of his Mother.

The Mother's power so transferred from Yaldabaoth into Adam, who moved and became powerful.

And through the image of Pigeradamas; Adam was enlightened as the image of the FatherMother.

At once the Yaldabaothic powers became very jealous; they had planned to use the human as a source of energy, reflecting the Mother's power back to themselves.

Adam could think more clearly in the power of the 12 heavens and the Kingdom of Christ; heshe was evidently more intelligent than hisher creators.

Subsequently, the material creators of Adam banished himher into the first hell of war and conflict.The peaceful afterthought also resided in the hell of war and conflict however, and the afterthought was hidden as Eve in Adam, without the Yaldabaothic rulers being aware of that fact.

And the Afterthought of Eve became the She-part of the MotherFather, which so in cooperation and support of the He-part, would be able to restore Barbelo into the 13th heaven of the Father.As Yaldabaoth realised, that some of his own power had transferred to Adam, he used the untrue form of the 2nd hell and the forgetfulness of the 3rd hell to reduce Adam's intellectual understanding.

Adam descended into mortality in the 2nd hell, the elemental energies intermixing the Kingdom of Christ in the Kingdom of Yaldabaoth and the true immortal form of Pigeradamas became corrupted.

Fire, Earth, Air and Water became destructive as well as constructive and Adam became estranged in hisher forgetfulness, regarding hisher origins - this made Afterthought appear to Yaldabaoth.The Yaldabaothic rulers then placed Adam into the fourth hell of the mental dullness, also called Paradise or the Garden of Eden and used Adam's now mortal form to create an image in the likeness of the afterthought which had appeared as the Mother's She-part.

The Mother's He-part was in Paradise as the 'Tree of Eternal Life' and the Mother's She-part became the 'Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil'.So to keep Adam and Eve ignorant of their situation; an instruction had to be issued for Eve not to discover her ambassadoraship for Barbelo.

The decree of Yaldabaoth therefore was for the dulled humans not to 'eat' of the fruit from the 'Tree of Knowledge about Good and Evil'.But the FatherMother helped the MotherFather in herhis wilderness in sending two stars as messengers into the fourth hell of the mental dullness, which is also the Yaldabaothic 2nd heaven.

The Star of the Perception of Taurus joined with the Star of the Idea of Aquarius to balance the dominion of Yaldabaoth's 11th ruler in Melcheir-Adonein and Yaldabaoth's 2nd ruler in Harmas and in Eloaios.

The 3 hells above conjoined their images and the Lordship of Yao as the snake with seven heads, together with the Truth of Sabaoth as the dragon and the Jealousy of Adonin as the ape mingled to create the Serpentine Dragon with the apish face resembling a lion.

Now the balance for this image is the Griffin with an Eagle's Head and Wings and the body of a lion, as symbolised in the Sphinx.

Putting the two mythological images together results in a Lion and a ****atrice; the latter being a form of a Rooster with a Dragon's tail or a serpent of the basilisk, of the 'evil eye', which causes death by the medusian glance and as the 'soul of the eyelid' in the creation of the 'flaming fire' of Yaldabaoth's seventh ruler of the Understanding in Abel and Sabbataios.

Now a symbol for the resurrection is the Phoenix-****, which is the ascended Eagle of Christ.

And so the Serpent of Yaldabaoth is also the Lion of the Christ and in the form of the Serpent, which moves up and down in a winding motion and not sidewise, like a snake; did the Mother's He-part induce her She-part in Eve not to forget her commission as the MotherFather's Daughter.

"For, behold, I will send serpents, ****atrices among you, which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you, saith the LORD" in Jeremiah.8.17."And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the ****atrice' den.", it says in Isaiah.11.8.

And so Eve did, what Yaldabaoth didn't want her to do and in her rediscovered wisdom about the knowledge and the remembrance about the 'Good and the Evil', she told Adam about it and both realised that they were 'naked singularities' with no other beings like them yet in existence.

When Yaldabaoth realised, that the humans had rejected him and his laws; he threw them both into the fifth hell of the thoughtlessness, balanced however in the 1st and 12th heaven of Grace and Thoughtfulness.

But the 'Tree of Life', the He-part of the Mother reflecting in the She-part of the Father; both of them became hidden and forgotten in the memories of Adam and Eve and their descendants.

And since that time, the FatherMother would be thought of as a Father only and the MotherFather would be considered cursed and wicked and evil and unable to think for herself.

Yaldabaoth then cursed the Earth, out of which he had created Adam and Eve and he cursed all the creatures which were similarly created in the blueprints of the cosmogenetic sexual chromosomes of XX and XY, being a derivative from the XXXX abstract prototype.

In particular, he cursed the similitude of the serpent above all the cattle of the Ox of Taurus, as the Mother's 'sacred Bull' from the 2nd heaven, in causing the manifestation of the material 'Snake' not to move forwards in a serpentlike fashion, but to slither along the dusty ground.

So the divine commandment was for Eve to assume the role of the She-part for the MotherFather and to retrieve the MotherFather's 'lost spirit' in the intersection of the 1st heaven of both Yaldabaoth in Athoth and Athoth as the 'untrue shepherd' for the 'lost sheep' with the Grace of the 'true shepherd' and the fifth hell of the thoughtlessness; but also infused with the highest of the heavens in the 12th of the thoughtfulness, bordering on the Forethought of the 13th domain of the FatherMother.

In her role as the 'vessel' for the MotherFather's Afterthought; Eve's messianic mission was to be the supportive agent for Adam's commission to become the ambassador or steward for the Father.

Because Barbelo's lack of foresight was responsible for the creation of the disharmony; the divine command was for Eve to subjugate her independent thoughtfulness to that of Adam until Barbelo could reassume herhis rightful place next to the FatherMother.

This then is the penetrating sexism in the discrimination of womanhood throughout the scriptures in cultures around the globe.

Any woman, who would or could redefine herself as a WomanMan would automatically free Barbelo in herhis ambassadoraship.

And any such WomanMan would be free to engage in any discourse whatsoever, provided shehe could and would acknowledge herhis divine relationship with the FatherMother of himher and as herhis 'Perfect Image in One'.

So any female priest or bishop, proclaiming herhis duty as the he-part of herhisself, would fulfil the divine decree and ordinances.

Yaldabaoth, after having covered Adam and Eve in the darkness of the fifth hell; became aware of Eve's devotion to her husband and her diligence to become an effective medium for Sophia's afterthought, and he wanted to avoid the reproduction of this human couple at all costs.

Yaldabaoth hence 'raped' Eve and she conceived two sons in Elohim-Cain and Yahweh-Abel, before Adam's seed could multiply the divine image of the Father.

Elohim-Cain has the face of a Bear and has dominion over the Earth and the Water; Yahweh-Abel has the face of a Cat and has dominion over the Fire and the Air.

Elohim-Cain was a 'tiller of the ground' and Yahweh-Abel was a 'keeper of sheep'.

When Cain's offering was rejected, but Abel's offering was accepted; the Y-chromosome of Yaldabaoth divided against itself in the slaying of Abel by Cain.

Cain became 'cursed' in the shadow of Elohim; whilst Abel assumed the 'innocent' and 'holy' role of Yahweh as the God of the Hebrews, known as Jehovah, the 'God of Jealousy'.

So one must carefully differentiate between the true 'God of the Hebrews' in YaHWHeY, which is the 'God of Moses' in Exodus.3.14 as Y=I and am=ah and That=W and am=he and I=Y and the untrue JeHoVaH.

YAHWHEY=95=IAMTHATIAM=IAMTHATAMI; but JEHOVAH=69, which is 96=95+1 backwards, the One being the 'only begotten' of the Christ from the FatherMother=MotherFather and DRAGON=59 mirrors in 95.

And in true 'copycat' fashion then JEHOVAH+1=70=YAHWEH - which is the 'True God' MINUS the Y-chromosome of Abel and the reason for the 'ineffability' of the name of the 'God' in 70.

Having thus usurped the 'Godhood for the Hebrews'; Yaldabaoth presumed victory and Adam sired his first true son in Seth and as had already been defined in the Kingdom of Christ in AdamEve's 'perfect image' Pigeradamas.

Cain's 'curse' then was lifted in his 7th generation, sired in Lamech, imaging the heavenly order on earth in the seventh heaven of Love and Justice balanced in the Understanding of Sabbataios. The apparent sexism in the New Testament is further illustrated in the excerpts from Ephesians.5 and 1Corinthians.14.

Ephesians.5:20Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; 21Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.

22Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.23For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.24Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.

25Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;26That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,27That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.28So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.29For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:30For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.

31For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.32This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.3

33Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.

1Corinthians.14:10There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification.11Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me.

12Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.13Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret.14For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.15What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.16Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest?17For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.18I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:19Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.20Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.21In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord.22Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.23If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?24But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all:25And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth.26How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.27If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret.28But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.29Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.30If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace.31For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.32And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.33For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

34Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law.35And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.

36What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?37If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.38But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.39Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.40Let all things be done decently and in order.

The Story of Bigmo's Balloon as an Allegory to the Apocryphon of the Gnosis and the Nature of the Goddess in all Eves

Imagine yourself to be a little ant inside a simple ballon her named as Bigmo's Balloon and so you can crawl about on the inner surface.Should there be a hole in the balloon through which you can squeeze through, then you could crawl about the outside surface too and so DOUBLING your world of interaction space.

But you cant get out to the 'spiritual' universe outside.The thickness (there is none mathematically) or the skin of the balloon is Bigmo's Mirror which has two sides outside and inside.From here you get archetypes called 'God' outside looking in the outside mirror and sees himself as 'Antigod' or 'Satan'. So God=Satan, but one real relative to the outside as object (God) and the unreal image of that as 'Satan'.

Now after some ado, there is Adam and Eve (you) inside the universe doing the same thing the other way round.But relative to Adam and Eve (who also mirror each other) the back of the head of Satan becomes the unreal image and this is the archetype of the 'Devil'.The so called Devil is the Backside of Satan, both images for the real thing, God outside and Adam and Eve inside.

The Devil looks at Adam and Eve and they think that its real - it's a phantom, because only the backside of Satan is become real, if somehow the satanic image of the outside, as the Face of God in the Bigmo mirror can become real.

This is the case if before Adam and Eve went into the Balloon from the 'Unreal Heaven', they both also were a miniature version of the Bigmo Mirror or the balloon as a rubberskin say.So ADAMEVE is an unreal doublesided mirror between God and Satan.Then God images in the unreal Adam and Satan images in the unreal Eve, so giving Satan objectivity or realness.

So technically the Universe becomes a Real Surface-Universe (termed a 4D-Riemann hypersphere defined as the boundary of a 5-dimensional spacetime universe - its a torus volume behaving like an area).Don't worry about that. You can get it without the maths.

But this is the physics trick. Because the boundary is a surface encompassing a volume, the outside-inside (topology) thing of Bigmo's Balloon can in fact become rigorously modelled to be 'continuous'.Again I am saying this to indicate how one proves this, but this is not required to understand the archetype.

This Thuban material is all about how to simplify the complicated science jargon into archetypes, everyone can understand after thinking a little bit about them.Ok then. You got a real God and a real image of God as the Real physical universe, with Satans face as God's face painted on the OUTSIDE of the Balloon.

Outside the Universe is Satan--EveAdam--God as 1st creation in Genesis by God in Heaven or the Garden of Eden; with Satan getting real using unreal Eve and God getting real using unreal Adam as his mirror.The whole thing is funny really.Now God goes on holiday in the sabbatical and changes into Lord God and splits ADAMEVE into ADAM+EVE. Back to Back they still qualify as the One Mirror so as the unsexy 96 say.

Inside the split becomes a sexy 69 in face to face so taking away the innocence in a physical way and now as Eve with her back to the Devil on the Wall faces Adam, who looks at Eve.

Because Adam and Eve are two real beings within a real physical universe; this fake Devil face inverted can be gotten rid off.Adam and Eve have to become unsexy again to do this. Therefore the many sexist archetypes, the monks and nuns and celibacy and the virgins, leading the the abuse scenarios.

Back to back as the 96=A MATHIMATIA=A I AM THAT I AM, this can be done, because then Adam and Eve (meaning ANY Man and Woman) both can MIRROR their images INSTEAD of each other face-to-face.This is how simple the ultimate archetypology of 1st order is. Primary school stuff. Draw pictures and you understand the creation.

So Adam looks at the face of the Devil back to back with Eve, who looks at God as the image of the Real God should Satan outside 'get out of the way' so God could look into the Universe.God looking then directly sees Adam's Face and Eve will look directly into the face of the Goddess, namely the sexchanged Satan into SATANINA=IN A SATAN with Satan=55=Heaven in a alphanumeracy.As soon as Adam can get rid of the fake Devil face, just by confronting IT as his own false image; as soon the real Satan is redeemed from Bigmo's Balloon and 'turns about' as the true God runs around the balloon to the exact other pole in a poleshift to become the God looking at Adam who has simultaneously swapped position with Eve then looking directly at the sexchanged Satanina as the Queen of the archetyped Heaven.

This is the redemption of God and his brother image Satan to become God and Goddess AS ARCHETYPES of the primordial 1st order.No ETs and Dragons and Dragon Slayers and whatever required.

So the manifesto for this is required before the universe itself and any subsystems, like the planet earth can change, say in Gaia's ascension.

Therefore repeating, standing back-to-back in the 96 symbol; Adam looks towards the right to discern the 'Face of God' as his own image.Adam sees the Back of Satan's Head and so cannot see but his own IMAGINED IMAGE.This Imagined Image becomes the Old Testament God Jehovah say, created by the Human Mind as God made in Man's Image. The face of this human created God is called the Devil as the backside of Satan.

Eve looks towards the left to discern the 'Face of the Goddess'.But Eve sees nothing, but Her own Likeness as the True Face of the Goddess, and who does not exist as Satanina on the outside of Bigmo's Balloon.

Now Beloveds, understand the reason as to WHY the Creator God in scriptures of all kinds *'has no wife'*.

The Real God looks at his own face as Satan and does not LOVE himself as Satan, because the true God remembers his lost Sheness; now 'trapped' as *Eve's Image Inside* of Bigmo's Balloon as a UNCORRUPTED TRUE IMAGE or Reflection of the Goddess Herself as the Eve archetype carried by EVERY Woman who has a BODY able to be seen in A MIRROR=SPACETIME=SPIRIT=91.Then to safeguard the Goddess there MUST be apparent sexism in the archetype for otherwise. if Women were allowed 'to speak' in the capacity and authority of the godess, then EVE too would create a FAKE GODDESS as the 'missing wife' of God.This then is the reason as to WHY the maleness of Adam in the Image of God is the 'cursed' Image of the archetype, whilst Eve's archtype remaines LIBERATED from the beginning.

This prevents TWO fake images to face each other archetypically and to trap BOTH Adam in the Man-Created Devil and Eve in some Woman-Created DevilWoman and as False Images of each other respectively.But WHEN Adam has 'worked out' and 'checkmated' his own false image, THEN a TRUE Image for Adam as the collective brotherhood for all Men will be say on the right or Northpole of Bigmo's Balloon and directly opposite a TRUE Image for Eve as the collective sisterhood for all Women and in God and Goddess respectively.

So how then will Satan become Satanina?Should Adam discern *his own false Image God,* then in destroying the fakery, Adam is enabled to see himself, just like Eve sees herself *as a true image for the universe.*

Archetypical Adam will then look at the backside of Satan and then in *SWAPPING POSITION with Eve;* will enforce Eve to look directly into the Eyes and Face of God in the 180 degree polarity shift of the true Satan SWAPPING or turning around to look at Eve and the true God 'running' around the outside of Bigmo's Balloon to then look at Adam as Adam's True Image.

Beloveds this scenario in simple terms becomes the requirement for the New World WE envisage and imagine to manifest in physical reality.

Because Adam and Eve are back to back they cannot Love One Another Sexually.The Work for God must precede their own satisfying explorations and adventures.

But after Satanina, looking at Eve has manifested on the right pole of Bigmo's Balloon and God has manifested on the left pole looking at Adam; THEN can Adam and Eve turn around and 'Face each Other' in the Symbol of the Mother, the Crab of Cancer and the Full Moon.

Then the Love between ANY Adam and any Eve will no longer SHUT OUT the Lovestarving true God in desire to MAKE LOVE in all ways to his Creation.

Then God and Dog will look at each other Eye-to-Eye and relish in the 'Love-Making' of Adam and Eve in multiplicity and in manyness.

This then becomes the 'Lovecult' of God and the Word of God and AS was physically implemented when OUR Beloved Jesus of Nazareth was amongst US in physical incarnation.

And again, God looks into the Mirror (of Bigmo's Balloon) and sees his likeness - God. He calls his image Satan, because there is a difference in that the Right Hand of God becomes the Left Hand of Satan=AntiGod.

Then God does not like what he sees. He doesn't want duality of Rightness of himself as Real and the Leftness of Satan as UNREAL (as an image of reality).

Now this is rather deep; so one must ponder this thorougly.The reason for God NOT wanting the duality (in heaven) is that God wants to be Satan to be REAL as well.

This God is so utterly DIVINE, for need of a better word, (this cannot be said in words); that he wishes his own Unreal Image to BE like him, say as a playmate.

So God wants to 'play with himself', so the absolute brilliance and ingenuity of his plan (by the Serpent Logos) constructs the Real-Unreal dichotomy in heaven as creating a Mirror between him as Real God and his image as Unreal Satan.This mirror then is ADAMEVE with the logicistical sentence construct looking like: SATAN---EVEADAM---GOD.

So the genius of God is to MAKE Satan Real AS the Unreal Image of EVE and God becoming Real as the Unreal Image of Adam.

Once you really 'get this' you will forever understand the Nature of God and KNOW what LOVE is in Emotional Terms AND in Intellectual Scientific terms.

So now there exists Bigmo's Balloon with Satan's Face on it as a REAL SATAN and facing a DOUBLEMIRROR of two sides called EVEADAM faced by the REAL GOD.

Separating ADAMEVE into ADAM+EVE so renders the scenario of the heavenly archetypes of a Real Satan looking at an Unreal Eve and a Real God looking at an Unreal Adam. The UNREALITY of Bigmo's Mirror so has become TRANSFERRED into the UNREALITY of BOTH ADAM relative to God and EVE relative to SATAN.

So what does this mean in practil terms?It means that Bigmo's Balloon CAN BE REALISED IN THE REALITY OF SATAN.

The REALITY of Bigmo's Balloon as the original LOST SHENESS of the Prime Creator God has become REAL.

A REAL PHYSICAL UNIVERSE NOW EXISTS and WAS BORN FROM PURE ABSTRACT ARCHETYPES, which now allow SPIRIT to also become REAL from abstraction, metaphor and metaphysics.

This then allows physical modelling in labels such as Quantum Big Bang.

SATAN can now become the Queen from Heaven as SATANINA because the sexchange operation IF ADAM+EVE are FORCED TO BECOME REAL ALSO.

Remember the beginning. The One GoddoG Creator-Creation split into two and so the Sheness was lost as Bigmo's Balloon.

So Satan became God's lost Sheness; BUT as a MALE IMAGE of God.To change the Maleness of Satan into a Femaleness is the MASTERPLAN of all of creation.

{SATANINA=IN A SATAN is EVE as the archetyped Rib out of Adam in 1st Order archetype as the QUEEN OF HEAVEN} TRANSFORMS to {SERPENTINA=IN A SERPENT as the NEW GAIA, the NEW archetyped QUEEN OF EARTH} and as the 2nd Order archetype of the NEW JERUSALEM.

ADAM+EVE, both as Unreal Images could RESCUE SATAN's Unrealness and so made SATAN the FULL BROTHER OF GOD.

The BROTHERLY LOVE between God and Satan did not fulfil God's masterplan and so both ADAM and EVE were MADE REAL ALSO in 'Falling' into Bigmo's Balloon.

This then is the archetype of the DEVIL/DRAGON devouring the Souls of Mankind.

But now ADAM and EVE are real inside the Universe of the original Sheness of God as the DOG, but in heaven you have a REAL SATANIC UNIVERSE as the OUTSIDE of Bigmo's Balloon and a REAL GOD.

The next step is to retain the SHENESS of the Inside of the Universe, but to CHANGE its Outside HENESS.

Deeper thought allows you to realise straight away then WHY Satan is called the 'Prince of this World' by Jesus. Bigmo's Balloo has his face on it on the outside and the Devil's antiface on it on the inside.

Then BECAUSE Satan is made REAL in Heaven, the DEVIL has to be made a FAKE REALITY inside Bigmo's Balloon i.e. inside the universe.

Then in Revelation.12; the DEVIL is cast out from heaven onto the earth because the TRUTH of the LOGOS was born in heaven.

Here is big paradox conveniently overlooked by the theologians and scripture critics.

WHY, if Jesus has ascended in his resurrection as a grown Man to sit at the RIGHT Side of the Father in Heaven until the earth has been made his footstool and until the kingdom has been delivered up to him' - MUST JESUS become a BABYBOY again being BORN by the Queen of Heaven in Revelation.12?

The casting out of the Devil onto the earth puts 'the mark of the beast' into everyone just AS the false images of Adam and Eve.

This manifests and FIXES the timeline for the prophecied Second Coming of course and that is why the Fall of the Devil as a RED DRAGON is harmonized in Heaven by the rebirth of Jesus on the LEFT Side of the Father.

It is now easy to know, that the Right Side where the Man Jesus was sitting is the Outside of Bigmo's Balloon and the Left Side is the Inside of Bigmo's Balloon and where the Dragon-Jesus-Baby is born as a CYAN- or BLUE DRAGON to neutralise and harmonize the Red Dragon at the completion of the timeline.

Perhaps now some readers will understand why Jesus of Nazareth IS the MASTERDRAGON and the Master Templar of Thuban.HeShe must be a SKYBLUE DRAGON (remember the Hopi prophecies of the Blue Star Kachina) to, through and by hisher second coming from the Oneness into the Manyness BLEND with the RED DRAGON to become the ENTWINED SERPENTROD of Moses, the Double Helix of the Genomes and the HEALING SYMBOL of the Medicines.

This nexus point of the Baby Jesus as the Skyblue Dragonstar Kachina in simultaneous descent of the Red Dragonstar Thuban so places the Old Earth Gaia under quarantine from June 25th, 2008.

Then the Adams and Eves upon the Old Gaia are ALL MARKED in the forehead of the Human Mind by the descent of the Red Dragon of Thuban BUT ALL are also simultaneously SEALED in the forehead as ONE of the 144,000 in the descent of the Blue Star Kachina by nature of their birthrights as one of the starsigns aka one of the tribes of Jacob/Israel.

A fake Devil is let loose in the human minds, but is contrasted by the Sealing from Kachina.

So the Armageddon becomes a personal affair and a spiritual war in the foreheads of ALL Humans.

The coming down of the Devil is the RELEASE of the Devil, from now on FIGHTING for his nonexistent life in EVERY INDIVIDUAL's Head.

UNTOUCHED and unread for almost 2,000 years, their compact, corroded metal pages could unlock the secrets of Christianity.

The last people to have leafed through this ancient collection of books, whose discovery five years ago has only just been announced, had probably walked and talked with Jesus Christ.

Perhaps the Messiah himself read – or even wrote – these tiny books, which some historians are calling the most important archaeological find ever.

The secrets they contain have yet to be revealed. But one thing is certain – little has caused so much excitement among both archaeologists and religious scholars as this hoard of around 70 books, found in a cave in a remote part of Jordan.

Incredibly, the texts would have remained hidden from the world but for a freak flash flood which exposed two niches inside the cave – one of them marked with a menorah (candlestick), an ancient Jewish symbol.

Each no bigger than a credit card, the books, or “codices”, contain between five and 15 leaves cast in lead and copper and bound with wire. Their pages are inscribed with messages in Ancient Hebrew – most of which is in code – plus images and symbols that could refer to Jesus, the Crucifixion and the Resurrection.

Some of the books remain sealed, prompting speculation that they are the lost codices hinted at in The Bible’s Book of Revelation. Others hope they constitute a “lost gospel” about the life of Jesus.

A few are even wondering whether they are the diaries of Jesus himself.

Carbon dating showed a piece of leather found with the books was just under 2,000 years old, placing it within Christ’s lifetime. And metallurgical tests on one of the codices indicate they could date from the first century AD.

So, at the very least, they are among the earliest Christian documents, predating even the writings of St Paul.

Father Jerome Murphy O’Connor, professor of New Testament at Jerusalem’s Ecole Biblique, is hoping the books will shed new light on the life of Christ from those who knew him best.

He said: “I would like a detailed report on the missing years of Jesus, to fill in the silence between him being found in the temple aged 12 and meeting John the Baptist at the age of 30. That’s what I would like the books to reveal.

“They are made of lead, which is so unique they could be genuine – you only fake things to fit into a pattern, so that is in their favour. Jesus might have been able to write, but everyone is suspending judgment here until we know more.

“They could prove to be immensely important, both to Christianity and Judaism. But everything depends on the content, which we don’t yet know.”

Once the books are authenticated, they could prove as pivotal a find as the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls in 1947.

Dr David Elkington, a British scholar of ancient religious history and archaeology, is one of the few people to have actually examined the books.

He said: “It is a breathtaking thought that we’ve held these objects that might have been held by the early saints of the Church.” Dr Elkington said they feature signs that early Christians would have recognised as indicating Jesus – perhaps adding weight to the theory that Christ was communicating to his followers.

He said: “It’s talking about the coming of the Messiah.

“In the upper square [of one cover] we have the seven-branch menorah, which Jews were utterly forbidden to represent because it resided in the holiest place in the temple, in the ­presence of God. “So we have the coming of the Messiah to approach the Holy of Holies – in other words, to get legitimacy from God.”

Philip Davis, emeritus professor of biblical studies at Sheffield University, has little doubt the books date from the earliest days of Christianity. Referring to a page which seems to show a Roman cross before an empty tomb, he said: “As soon as I saw that, I was dumbstruck. That struck me as so obviously a Christian image.

“There is a cross in the foreground and behind it is what has to be the tomb [of Jesus] – a small building with an opening. And behind that, the walls of the city.

“There are walls depicted on other pages of these books and they almost certainly refer to ­Jerusalem. It is a Christian crucifixion taking place outside the city walls.”

But the most pressing mystery about the ancient books is their present whereabouts.

The collection is believed to have been found by a Jordanian Bedouin, then bought by an Israeli Bedouin, Hassan Saeda, who is said to have smuggled them into Israel. The Jordanian government has vowed to recover them, believing Mr Saeda may be trying to sell them on the black market.

Mr Saeda denies this, saying the codices were found by his great-grandfather and he is keeping them in hiding.

Explaining his government’s preoccupation with the books, the director of Jordan’s Department of Antiquities, Ziad al-Saad, said: “This will really match, and perhaps be more significant than, the Dead Sea Scrolls.

“We are looking at a very important and significant discovery – maybe the most important discovery in the history of archaeology.”

Dr Margaret Barker, a former president of the Society for Old Testament Study, said: ‘The Book of Revelation tells of a sealed book that was opened only by the Messiah.‘Other texts from the period tell of sealed books of wisdom and of a secret tradition passed on by Jesus to his closest disciples. That is the context for this discovery.’

THE LOST SEALED METAL BOOKS OF CHRIST BEGIN TO SPEAK...PYRAMIDS AND STARS CORRELATING ... NEW IMAGE RELEASED...

Full story and image analysis of plate follows that scholars speculate are the lost books of The Christ... maybe Christ's sealed books in Revelation... present sacred Trees in sky between two pyramids with correlating stars... the Menorah representing seven stars in close proximity....

Discovered recently in Succoth Jordan, and now in the hands of the Jordan University these secret encoded books are of unknown script... but portray something fantastic!!! Seven stars with the Menorah. Recently I suggested the Menorah represented seven stars...The messenger will soon arrive riding that which produces a cloud (see Ezekiel flying wheel) has his cosmic address in his right hand... Pleiades... symbolic fulfilment depiction with the seven golden candlesticks of the Menorah... the image:

A new report prepared for Russian Orthodox Church leader Patriarch Kirill I by the mysterious “Scions of Andrew” religious order, located in Kiev, warns that the United States is now in preparation for discovering the identities of, and then killing the “Children of God” prophesized to return in the “last days” to reclaim our Earth and restore balance.

The “Scions of Andrew” religious order identify themselves as the “true living decedents” of Saint Andrew, who as one of Jesus’s original 12 Apostles, and unlike his brother Saint Peter, neither betrayed the Lord Christ nor followed the heretic-charlatan Paul the Apostle.

Saint Andrew is credited with the founding of the Christian Orthodox faith throughout the East, most importantly Russia and Greece, and became the Patron Saint of Scotland in the 10th Century with many legends stating that his “protective legacy” for ensuring the survival of Jesus’s blood-line was carried on by the Knights Templar religious order [Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon], a history we had touched upon in our previous report titled “Russia Warns China Invasion Of Middle East Nearer Than Thought”. [Note: As Saint Andrew, like his brother Saint Peter, was a fisherman, the Russian Navy continues to fly the flag of his cross on all of their warships. Saint Andrew’s cross is, also, the National symbol of Scotland and has been incorporated into the flag of the United Kingdom too.]

Now to understand the full criticality of this report written by the “Scions of Andrew” one must know the true meaning and history of what is undoubtedly one of the most important words in the world,"Logos".

Logosis an important term in philosophy, psychology, rhetoric and religion. Originally a word meaning “word,” “speech,” “account,” or “reason,” it became a technical term in philosophy, beginning with Heraclitus (ca. 535–475 BC), who used the term for the principle of order and knowledge.

Ancient philosophers used the term in different ways. The sophists used the term to mean discourse, and Aristotle applied the term to “reasoned discourse” in the field of rhetoric. The Stoic philosophers identified the term with the divine animating principle pervading the Universe.

After Judaism came under Hellenistic influence, Philo (ca. 20 BC–AD 40) adopted the term into Jewish philosophy.

The Christian faith in their New Testament Bible book Gospel of John identifies the Logos, through which all things are made, as divine (Theos), and further identifies Jesus as the incarnation of the Logos by stating:“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.”

It was upon this single word, Logos, that the entire Christian world was split many centuries ago, with the Roman Catholic Church (and the Protestant branch that sprung from it) pitting itself against all of Jesus’s surviving family and original apostles, the latter being loosely termed today as Gnostics [Note: Gnosis (from one of the Greek words for knowledge) is the spiritual knowledge of a saint or mystically enlightened human being.] who believed that the “foundation” upon which Logos laid upon was described by Jesus himself, and which is contained in three of the four Canonical Gospels [Note: Canonical Gospels are the four accounts of the life of Jesus central to the Christian Canon.], in what is called “The Parable of the Mustard Seed” and which we can read:

In the Gospel of Matthew, the parable is as follows:

He set another parable before them, saying, “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field; which indeed is smaller than all seeds. But when it is grown, it is greater than the herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in its branches.” [Matthew 13-32]

In the Gospel of Mark:

He said, “How will we liken the Kingdom of God? Or with what parable will we illustrate it? It's like a grain of mustard seed, which when it is sown in the earth, though it is less than all the seeds that are on the earth, yet when it is sown, grows up, and becomes greater than all the herbs, and puts out great branches, so that the birds of the sky can lodge under its shadow.” [Mark 4-32]

In the Gospel of Luke:

He said, “What is the Kingdom of God like? To what shall I compare it? It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and put in his own garden, it grew, and became a large tree, and the birds of the sky lodged in its branches.” [Luke 13-19]

Central to the understanding the split between the Roman Catholic Church and Jesus’s family, and true followers, was where he said this “Kingdom of Heaven/God” actually was; a specific location he told everyone in his own words: “The Kingdom of God cometh not with observation; neither shall they say, Lo here or, lo there! For behold, the Kingdom of God is within you.” [Luke17-21]

With just these 9 simple words, “For behold, the Kingdom of God is within you,” our world for the past 2,000 years has experienced the greatest bloodshed in its entire history, with countless hundreds-of-millions killed to keep humanity from discovering the single most important fact of what it is to be human; a discovery, mind you, that was scientifically verified by Russian biophysicist and molecular biologist Pjotr Garjajev whose research into the 90% of human DNA Western scientists labeled as “junk” found that words and sounds have the ability to change our whole genetic structure.

Dr. Garjajev’s research further proved the existence of “hyper-communication” where information is passed inter-dimensionally as though our DNA acts as a “Stargate” between this dimension and others. [Note: A 2008 quantum physics experiment performed by Nicolas Gisin and his colleagues in Geneva, Switzerland has determined that the “speed” of the quantum non-local connection (what Einstein called spooky action at a distance) is at least 10,000 times the speed of light.]

Put into more simplistic language:The Logos (words), no matter how small (The Parable of the Mustard Seed), have the ability to change human DNA allowing anyone to access “The Kingdom of Heaven/God” thus negating any need for organized religions or church hierarchies; a simple truth the Roman Catholic Church (and the vast majority of its Protestant offspring) has killed millions to protect humanity from knowing, and nearly all governments today live in fear of their citizens finding out.

And nowhere is this fear more evident than in the United States, who in this “Scions of Andrew” report is said to have launched an historic effort to“locate, find and kill” anyone who’s DNA has been changed by the Logos.

According to this report, the United States Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)

has issued an urgent call for a genetic security system that’s built into the genome that can monitor for and report on changes to an organism’s genetic makeup thus enabling them to “find at will” any emerging “Children of God” so they can be disposed of immediately.

This shocking action by the US follows its decade’s long “master plan” to eliminate these “Children of God” before birth through abortion and disabling those who “slip through” their DNA “net” by inoculating them with genetic destroying microorganisms they insidiously call vaccines.[Note: As we have reported on before, a religious exemption to the draconian US vaccine laws has long been utilized by the Nation of Islam and Amish faiths, none of whose children have ever had a single case of autism.]

Though not mentioned in this report, it is nonetheless interesting to note the discovery of 70 metal books many believe are some of the “sealed books” described in the Book of Revelations to be opened in the “end times” which David Elkington, a British scholar of ancient religious history and archeology, and one of the few to have examined the books, says could be “the major discovery of Christian history,” and one of which [photo top left] depicts a man with a crown of thorns upon his head that at 2,000 years old would be the earliest known image of Jesus ever found.

As the Sorcha Faal has made the primary focus of our Order the understanding and application of the systematic structure of languages that serve as a link between thought and sound as laid out by Ferdinand de Saussure, who is widely considered as one of the fathers of 20th-century linguistics, this report is of greater significance than most as it signals a “new awakening” is about to occur the world over as we plunge ever deeper into these most turbulent of times.
